scilence S2: 72 Mathematics & WHAT'S MY PURPOSE

This week on Scilence, I chat with an aerospace engineer, who shares her healthy attitude towards her abilities.  From the beginning, my guest had always had a strong sense of determination and focus, having been born a twin.  A near fatal car accident a few years ago brought her into crystal-clear clarity.  

 

As with all twins, there is often a sense of comparison between them.  Her and her brother are both bright and gifted in STEM, but my guest being female, always felt a greater pressure to prove herself in mathematics.  She was raised with the stigma that girls are not naturally good in this subject.  

 

Societal pressures taught her the importance of ambition, drive and hard work and her accident highlighted the importance of knowing one's purpose.  This episode is enlightening and uplifting as we hear from someone so young, who has really figured out her path in life and won't let anything get in the way of what she wants.,
